How Cart & Broom works

Hi! This app helps you shop, cook and keep your place nice, with a friendly helper when you want one. The three buttons at the bottom switch between Groceries, Meals and Cleaning. Everything you add is saved on this phone automatically.

Groceries

  • Add things: type what you need, like 2 lb beef or milk, and tap Add. Tap a pink + under Quick adds to add a basic like milk in one tap.
  • Aisles: items sort themselves into aisles, numbered in the order you walk the store. Tap Change the aisle order to match your store.
  • In the store: tap the circle next to an item to check it off. Tap Clear checked when you get home.
  • Add ingredients for a meal: type a dish, like tacos for 4, and the helper lists what to buy. Uncheck what you already have, then add the rest.

Meals

  • Find something to eat: search by name, or type what you have with commas, like chicken, rice.
  • Cooking for: set how many people. Every amount changes to match.
  • Open a meal to see its ingredients. Uncheck what is already in your kitchen, then tap Add to list. Tap the heart to save a favorite.
  • How do I cook this? gives you step-by-step directions written for a beginner: what to get out, what to do, how long, and how to tell it is ready.
  • Surprise me picks a meal for you. Plan a week of dinners fills in seven nights you can shuffle.
  • Invent something new: tell the helper what sounds good, like something spicy, 30 min, and it dreams up six dishes with ingredients.

Cleaning

  • Pick a voice: Blunt, Hype or Gentle. That is how your pep talks sound. Tap the speaker to hear one out loud.
  • How much energy do you have? There is no wrong answer. Pick a task for me chooses something that fits.
  • Just start a 15-minute sprint: a timer for one burst of cleaning. When it ends, bubbles. You earned them.
  • Rooms and tasks: scroll down to see every room. Check off a task when it is done and watch your streak grow.

The helper

The helper is an AI (Claude) that writes cooking steps, ingredient lists, meal ideas and pep talks just for you. It only helps with food, shopping and cleaning. Each phone gets a few free helper questions a day. Cooking steps someone already asked for are remembered, so those are always free.

Good to know

  • Put it on your home screen so it opens like a real app. iPhone: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Android: tap the browser menu, then Add to Home screen.
  • Works without signal: your list still opens in the store. Only the helper needs internet.
  • Your stuff stays on this phone. Nothing is shared between phones, so each person can have their own list. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what the helper sends.

Try this first: go to Meals, tap Surprise me, then tap How do I cook this?

Stuck? Every screen has a big button that tells you what it does. Tap around, nothing breaks.
